Most people I know with modern ones have a yearly contract.

I think there might be quite a lot in that last sentence, Charlie. I'm a
bit concerned that the OP is hearing about people who haven't touched a
tank
in 15 years if his house's previous owners are on a yearly contract! I
wonder if a specialist surveyor exists for such things?

But many of the posters have made the distinction that it depends on the
type of tank he has.

Not all have done so, though and if the poor chap thinks he can wait 15
years..........

I know that here in Australia, if you have one of the modern ones which will
pump out onto the garden, the contract is for attention every 3 months. Not
for pumping out but for checks on the water quality.



Excellent design but probably not what the OP has.
